[0 all whom it may concernw" Be it known that I, DAVID LEVY, a-citizenof the United State's,'and"a resident of the city of NewYork, borougher, Bronx, in

the county of Bronx and State of New York,

have invented a new andlm'proved Flyfull, clear, and exact description?I m This invention relates .to improvements 1n fly "paper holders, anobject of'the invention 'Paper Holder,of which'the following'is beingtoprovide improved means for supvenient to use, and another object ofthis in.-'-'

vention is to provide means for supporting a roll of fly paper in such amanner that it may either serve the function of a sheet, or it may besuspended upon the wall to serve the purpose of the ordinary hangingstrip.

A still further object is to provide a holder which will be simple andpracticaliin construction, strong, durable and efficient in use, neatand attractive in appearance, and comparatively inexpensive tomanufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists incertainnovel' features of construction and combinations and arrangementsof parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out inthe claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of myimproved holder; v

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof; and Figure 3 is an. enlarged brokenview, on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. V

Referring in detail to the drawings, I have used the reference numeral 1to designate a boxlike frame which includes side walls 2, end walls 3and a bottom 4, the frame being openon top whereby it presents asubstantially trough-shaped structure. This frame is preferably formedofiwood or other material which lends itself to economy of man- It willbe noted that the side walls of the frame are of increased heightadjacent each end, as indicated at 5, and that aligned slots 6 areprovided in the upper edges of theside walls adjacent their ends.Ituwill :be seen that these slots are curved at their'inner ends fora-"purpose whichwill befhere'ina'fter ap' 1"" parent. In one pairofslots6,. a shaftjTis mounted. This shaft'is preferably square in crosssection and includes reduced ends 8,

circular incross 'sectionand having alhnular grooves therein. formingreduced. p'o rtions which fit'withi'n the'slots 6 and serve to pro viderotary mounting fortheshaft; 1

At the other end of thef rame a rewinding 2 corelOisprovided.-5This'corejisalso formed with annular reduced endsll,whichfa-r e further reduced, as "indicatedjat' 12 110.; fit

within the other pair (sf-slots 6. The'core 10 is alsosquare or angularin cross section and" a relatively largedisc 13 is fixed to. the coreadjacent one end thereof'within the frame.

A similar disc 1a is loosely mounted on the other side of the .core.These discs not only serve tofacilitate the manual turning ofthe core,'but'also serve toguide the rewin'ding of" 7 paper upon the core. I

. I have indicatedat 15 a cartridge reel hav 7 ing a hollow square core16, upon which a 1 plurality ofconvolutions of paper 17 V are wound.This paperis'preferably gummed 7 upon one face. The free endyof thepaper also carries a square tube 18 of cardboard or other relativelystiff material.

In using the apparatus, the shaft 7 is re" moved from the box, insertedwithin the core 16and then replaced in its mounting. The v paper ispartially unwound from the reel,the

core 10 is removed from the boxorframe, the disc 1 1 is detached-fromthe core, and the Y 7 tube 18is slipped over the core. The disc 14 maythenbereplaced and the'core 10 then H restoredto its normal position. Inorder to feed paper from the "cartridge reel on to the} rewinding coreit is merely necessarytomanually-turn thediscs 13 "andjll. After anumber of flies have been entangled upon the strip of paper exposedbetween the, shaft 7 p and the rewlnding core, the paper maybe rewoundconcealing the flies thereon andiex-l posing a fresh gummed portion. Itwill also I I be noted that when the frame is used in the horizontalposition shown in the drawings; any flies which may succeed in crawlingoff.

the paper will fall into the boxor frame. If s flexible device 19 beingprovided for "this it proves more convenientto do so, the frame maybesuspended .from a suitable support, a j

purpose at one end of the box. I When the" paper carrying frame is in.suspended position, the curved inner ends of the slots 6 prevent thepaper from falling out of the frame.

Although I have illustrated one of the preferred embodiments of myinvention, it will be obvious that various slight changes andalterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of theparts described Without departing from the invention, and hence I do notwish .-to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but shallconsider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterationsas fairly fall within the spirit andscope of the appended claims.

I claim 1. A holder for a strip of fly paper, comprising a frame open atthe top and presenting a substantially trough-shaped structure, saidframe having the'side Walls thereof of greater height at each end thanat ,the center said side Walls at the-ends being formed with openings, arotatable member arranged in each of said openings, a spool mounted onone of said rotatable members, said spool being adapted to carnyacoiledsupply of fly paper, a connecting member secured to one end of saidsupply of fly paper adapted to connect said fly paper With the other ofsaid rotatable members, and manually actuated means for rotating thelast mentioned rotatable member, said manually actuated means acting asa guide for guiding said paper whereby it may be Wound on the lastmentioned rotatable member.

2. A fly paper holder, comprising a container open at the top, a shaftrotatably j ournaled at one end thereof, a reel mounted on said shaft,said reel being adapted to contain a coiled strip of fly paper, a squaretube connected with one end of said fly paper, a a

square shaft rotatably mounted in the opposite end of said frame andextending through said squaretube, and manually actuated guiding disksmounted onsaid square shaft whereby said tube may be rotated and the flypaper Wound thereon.
